Bezos Centre Sustainable Food Accelerator

​Join the Bezos Centre for Sustainable Protein and Undaunted for the launch of the Sustainable Food Accelerator: a new 12-month, equity-free programme designed to help early-stage food-tech ventures move from breakthrough to market.

​The accelerator supports companies working across sustainable food and protein innovation, including next-generation ingredients, fermentation, circular feedstocks, scale-up and product validation. Through tailored technical, regulatory, commercial and investor-readiness support, selected ventures will gain access to expert networks, facilities and corporate partners with committed pilot budgets.

​This launch event will bring together founders, investors, corporate partners, researchers and ecosystem leaders to explore how we can build a stronger pathway for sustainable food technologies to reach the market and deliver real-world impact.

​The evening will include the official programme reveal from the Bezos Centre and Undaunted, a Roundtable Discussion, and networking over drinks and canapés.
